What does it do?
Enables Lync Server 2010\2013 administrators and helpdesk agents to configure delegate-ringing and call-forwarding settings on behalf of a Lync Server user. This tool also allows administrators to query the call-routing settings that are published for a particular user.

The pc\server from which the SEFAUtil.exe will be run needs to added as a trusted application, allowing the machine to query the Lync databases. This means that a trusted application pool needs to be configured to which this trusted application belongs to. In summary, trusted applications belong to trusted application Pools.

Example

In the example below the Lync FE server is used as the Application Pool and also the application server from which the SEFAUtil will also be run. From Lync Management Shell:-

STEP 1

New-CsTrustedApplicationPool -id mySEFAUtilServer.domain.com -Registrar mylyncpool.domain.com -site Site:MySiteWhere id is the FQDN of the server that will be used to run SEFAutil Registrar is the FQDN of your Lync Pool Site is your Lync Pool Site name, can be obtained from Get-CsSite

Where:Applicationid can be anything you choose, sefautil in my case TrustedApplicationPoolFqdn is the FQDN of the server that will be used to run SEFAutilPort can be changed to suit your needs as long as the port isn’t in use of course

STEP 3

Enable-CsTopology

STEP 4 (if running on a separate Server)When you run SEFAutil on a dedicated server you then need to install Lync Server 2010\2013 core components on the server. The setup steps you need to perform are the following:

Amongst the RESKit tools one finds the Database Analyzer. Use it to check the health of your RTC Database.It comes with switches and I have documented the ones I find most useful with examples below.

DBAnalyze.exe /report:diagdiag Displays diagnostic information for the rtc database. Depending on the number of users, database size and the current load, creation of this report type may take 5-10 minutes.WARNING: Diagnostic mode should not be run frequently. Doing so may impact server performance.

mcus : Displays information about all MCUs registered with the database.

User ReportsDBAnalyze.exe /report:user /user:paul@lynclab.co.nz user : SIP user to query for. This switch is used by the “user” and “conf” report types. The value is the SIP URI of the user without the “SIP:” prefix.
